[QUOTE="fairlady2jz, post: 16813165, member: 86610"] To start out im a big turbo fan, love them. This is my reality i own a cobra with a 2.3 vmp and a fox body coupe with a teskid turbo. IMO the blower setup is much simpler and better packaged and the turbo setup is more complex and hotter with big power potential. They both have there goods and bads. But to me if your car is mainly a street car i would stick to blower, you wont have to deal with as much heat issues and crowding the engine bay. I don't mind my fox body being turbo because i don't run any accessories so the engine bay has space but if you keep ac and all of it, itcan get really crowded. The actual reason i have a fox body turbo was because i wanted a modular turbo but didn't wanna do it to my cobra lol. Now if you decide to turbo your cobra, don't go cheap you'll regret it. My buddy with an s550 purchased a single turbo kit from on3 and he had to spend extra money on fitting things properly and upgrading some components, so at the end of the day he spent the same thing and did double the work. Spend the proper money for a good quality kit specially if its something you plan on driving frequently. CG fabrication in my opinion does nice kits at a fair price, I own two hot sides and hopefully soon a third when i do my coyote 10r80 swap into my other fox. Plus when you buy cheap stuff it gives you trouble which leads into more downtime and you then start to hate the car. There is no better feeling then knowing that at any time you can go start your car up and take it for some rips without worrying about anything. Good luck on your decision [/QUOTE]
